英译汉

1. I believe that I speak for every sincere and serious representative in the United Nations—so I am encouraged to believe by the speeches to which we have already listened this morning—when I say that the anniversary must be an occasion for an honest assessment of our failures in the past, matched by an equally determined will to do better in the future, so that we can escape from frustration and turn the anniversary into an inspiration and an achievement.

2. This alone demonstrates that the television business is not an easy world to survive in, a fact underlined by statistics that show that out of eighty European TV networks no less than 50% took a loss in 1989.

汉译英

1.虎求百兽而食之，得狐。狐曰：字无敢食我也！天帝使我长百兽，今子食我，是逆天帝

命也。子以我为不信，吾为子先行，子随我后，观百兽之见我而不走乎？虎以为然，故遂与之行。兽见之皆走，虎不知兽畏己而走也，以为畏狐也。

英译汉

1：这次周年纪念会应该是一个老老实实地评估我们过去失误的大好时机，同时也应该是一个表达我们有同样决心要做好今后工作的大好时机。这样，我们就可免遭挫折，并可把这次周年纪念变成一种鼓舞和成就。当我讲这番话时，我相信—今天上午我们听到的发言也使我相信—我是代表联合国每一位真诚而严肃的代表讲话的。

2.仅这一点就表明，电视行业是一个不容易生存的领域，这个事实通过统计数字

一目了然，统计表明在欧洲80家电视网中，1989年出现的亏损的多达50%。

?汉译英：

? 1. Once a tiger, who went in search of animals for food, found a fox. “You won’t dare to eat me,”the fox said, “as I am appointed leader of all beasts by the Heavenly King. It is

against the will of the King for you to eat me. In case you doubt my words, let me go

ahead, and you may follow behind to see if any animal does not run away on seeing me.”

The tiger agreed and went with the fox. At the sight of them, all animals fled. The tiger

was thus made to believe they were all afraid of the fox, not knowing it was he himself

that they had feared and run away from.

2. Paper cutting is one of China’s most popular traditional folk arts. Chinese paper cutting has a history of more than 1,500 years. It was widespread particularly during the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

During the Spring Festival and wedding celebrations, in particular, paper cuttings are used to decorate doors, windows and rooms in order to enhance the joyous atmosphere. The color most frequently used in paper cutting is red, which symbolizes health and prosperity. Chinese paper cutting is very popular around the world and it is often given as a present to foreign friends.

He was asleep in a short time and he dreamed of Africa when he was a boy and the long golden beaches and the white beaches, so white they hurt your eyes, and the high capes(海岬) and great brown mountains. He lived along that coast now every night and in his dreams heard the surf(海潮) roar and saw the native boats come riding through it. He smelled the tar（柏油）and oakum（填絮）of the deck as he slept and he smelled the smell of Africa that the land breeze brought at moring.

他不久就睡去，梦见了他儿童时代所看到的非洲，迤长的金黄色的海滩和白色刺眼的海滩、高耸的海岬和褐色的大山。现在，他每晚住在海边，在梦中听到了海潮的怒号，看见了本地的小船从海潮中穿梭来去。睡着的时候，他闻到了甲板上柏油和填絮的味道，闻到了地面上的风在早晨送来的非洲的气息。

Overcoming the Problem of waste

Many large cities are anything but beautiful. Streets are littered with trash. In this trash, however, there is still something that can be useful.

If people want to solve the problem of waste, there is no time to be lost. They must work out ways of making use of good things which are just thrown away as waste.

When a car gets too old, it may not run any more. But the metal that the car was made of is still good. It can be put to use again.

When a bottle is empty, it goes out in the trash. But bottle glass can be gound into sand and used to pave streets.

Garbage from food can be changed into fertilizer. But first you have to fish out all the glass and metal.

Garbage can also be a good source for making building blocks, which are then

covered with concrete（混凝土）. Now, more and more machines are designed for this purpose. Some day, people will watch films in a magnificent（宏伟的）cinema wich has been built out of garbage. Future buildings, roads, and cities maybe made from garbage. But so far, building beautiful cities out of garbage is only a dream.

废物利用

现在许多大城市不堪入目。街道上满是被乱丢乱放的垃圾，而在这些垃圾里，仍有一些有用的东西。

如果人们想解决废物问题，已经是时候了。他们必须研究出一些垃圾再利用的方法。

如不能再行驶的汽车，车上的金属还是好的，这些金属可以重新利用。

还有废弃在垃圾桶里的空瓶子，玻璃瓶可以被磨成沙用来铺路。

食物垃圾可以变成肥料，但首先你得捡出所有的玻璃和金属。

垃圾也是制造带有混凝土外壳的建筑块的好材料，现在，越来越多的机器为此意图而设计。将来某一天，人们有可能在用垃圾制成的宏伟的电影院里看电影。将来的建筑物、公路和城市都可能用垃圾制成。但到目前为止，用废物建造美丽的城市还只是一个梦想。

捎……

他要出国。人没出外贸局(Foreign Trade Bureau)的大门，这消息不胫而走。

回到家里，屋里早坐满了人。

“哥，给我捎台带电脑的收录机(computer-controlled radio cassette recorder)!”弟弟是那么兴奋，似乎收录机唾手可得。

“哥，给我捎一套高级化妆品(high-grade cosmetics)!”妹妹是那么激动，好像化妆品已在她身上发挥了作用，更增添了她的妩媚。

“妈，您捎点什么？”他问。

“不捎别的，捎台洗衣机就行！”丈母娘高兴得什么似的，嘴都快咧到了耳朵根底下。

“娘，您老呢？”

“不管咋着，把你捎回来就中！”娘的眼里闪着晶莹的光。

人陆续走了。

“志华，你捎点……”他柔情地扶着妻的肩。

“…我和娘一样…”妻深情(affection)地望着他。

他的眼霎时湿漉漉了，两串珍珠似的东西滴在妻的秀发上。

Bring……

He was going abroad. The news spread rapidly even before he left the Foreign Trade Bureau.

When he reached home, he found a roomful of people waiting for him.

“Brother, please bring me a computer-controlled radio cassette recorder,” said his younger brother, apparently in high spirits, as if he could get what he wanted right away.

“Bring me a set of high-grade cosmetics, brother,” said his younger sister, filled

with excitement, as if the high-grade cosmetics were taking effect on her, making her more charming.

“Mother, what do you want me to bring for you?” he asked.

“Oh, just bring me a washing machine.”answered his mother-in-law, grinning from ear to ear. She was mighty happy.

“What about you, Mom?”

“No matter what happens, please do bring yourself back home.”replied his mother, her eyes glistening with tears.

“Zhihua, what do you want?”he asked, gently placing his hands on his wife’s shoulders.

“I have the same idea as Mom.” she said softly, gazing at him with affection.

At this, tears welled up in his eyes and streamed down onto her beautiful hair.

Throughout life, the average person meets thousands of people and is exposed to even more ideas, concepts, and beliefs. The content of a conversation, or the words used to convey a message, quickly faded, but the impression remains.

An impression is an effect, feeling or image retained as a consequence of experience. However, like a footprint in the sand at a beach, impressions eventually fade away; a lasting impression is one that does not. When we refer to making a lasting impression in terms of success, we are referring to a positive impression. Those who know how to, and are capable of making lasting impressions on others, have a level of influence over others that is most useful in the pursuit of success. How can you make a lasting impression? Think back to your own experiences in life and think of the impressions that were made on you. What were the circumstances? If you carefully think about this, you will discover three key circumstances: strong emotion, use of imagery, differentiation.

一个普通人一生中会碰到数以千计的人，接触到的思想、概念、信念就更多了。谈话的内容，或用以传达信息的话语会迅速地烟消云散，但印象还会继续存在。

印象是经历给人留下的一种影响、一种感觉或者一个影像。然而，印象就像沙滩上的脚印，最终会消失，但深刻的印象不会消失。我们讲到成功地留下深刻的印象时，指的是正面的印象。那些知道如何并能成功地给人留下深刻印象的人，会对他人有一定的影响力，这对自己获得成功是十分有用的。如何才能给人留下深刻的印象呢？回想一下自己的生活经历，回想一下别人给自己留下的印象。当时的情形如何？如果你仔细想一想，你会发现三种主要情形: 强烈的感情, 使用形象, 与众不同。
